My take on yesterday's partial lunar eclipse. This was taken at maximum eclipse, which was about 4:20am. I've tried to recreate the view that I had in binoculars, by manually blending two exposures. Hope you like the result!

How do you do it? What is your exposure time?

Thank you!

Hi Charles,

You should be able to pick up the Earthshine on the "dark" side using an exposure of 1 sec at f/5.6 and 800 iso. The images in the first post were actually obtained by stacking 12 such exposures using DeepSkyStacker (which reduced the signal:noise ration, allowing me to stretch the histogram and enhance the background stars), and those in the second post were HDR images. But the image below is a single 1 sec exposure at f/5.6 and 800 iso.

Was out walking the dogs with my girlfriend when we turned this corner and saw the moon dropping in the sky pretty rapidly. Ran home for the camera but didn't have time to fidget with bracketing exposures. Therefore my attempt to bring out the sky and powerlines ended in a moon that was a touch too far out of reach in lightroom to save.
